No, I haven't been there but I've been to the Fox a few times. I met Mike and Billie at the first BFD in '94, my bf at that time was an acquaintance of theirs from before they hit it big. Wish we had phones that would take pictures back then!
I usually avoid Oakland if I can (heheh) Was the diner any good?

that's so cool u met them in '94. i think Tre Cool is the coolest of the trio tho. the diner is good but nothing special. they have a blackened catfish that i liked - u can have it in a sammich, salad or w/ fries. haha yeah Oakland is truely The Wild West. i do really, really miss The Bay!

Edit: ok for the grunge fans: did u also wear flannel and Doc Martens, etc?

My youngest daughter's name is Allison Layne so I'll let you guess who is my favorite.

That said Chris Cornell had the best rock voice, next to Robert Plant, of all time. "Ten" is one of those albums that I can play the whole thing without skipping a song. And I love the "Unplugged" version of Man who Sold the World.

Besides the Grunge factor of the movie, Bridgette and Kyra were quite the lookers then too.

love that one too! but isn't Kurt plugged in on that one? the opening guitar riff that's played throughout. it's electrified right? or he at least has some pedals and/or effects going on. (someone who actually plays may be abel to explain more)

Duh. I had 3 pairs in all until I decided Docs were sellout and lame, then I moved on to Gripfast.

You know I can't choose, being born and raised in Seattle lol.

Soundgarden, nirvana, pearljam.
Cant decide, they All have good songs that have that emotive angst and angry distorted grunge guitars.

I’d have to say tie between bush and nirvana

Alice In Chains and Soundgarden all the way. But I have to give Nirvana props too.
